Retraining in general apparently has a bit of a mixed success rate at best. Instead of reading this article about the terrible, clueless Trump-supporting miners who are just too thick-headed to retrain, it might be worth reading up on what happens to those who do make use of retraining programs: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/23/magazine/retraining-jobs-unemployment.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/23/magazine/retraining-jobs-... Also, perhaps, about the past history of government retraining and investment programs in Appalachia and why people there didn't believe Clinton's promises during the election were worth much: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/29/us/politics/coal-country-is-wary-of-hillary-clintons-pledge-to-help.htm https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/29/us/politics/coal-country-...
